Bolt 5:21 Brisbane indie-noise four-piece Loomer let loose their long-awaited debut full-length, Ceiling. An age in the making, the work crystallises years of the group’s painstaking sonic development. The result is a debut that far surpasses the high expectations placed on it, mistakable for the work of a band years their senior. Drawing upon the collective approaches and musical output of bands like The Dead C, Wire, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, Loomer bring together elements of harsh volume, and wall-of-noise guitars with understated ethereal vocals, to create an artfully intense exploration into new grounds in song form and harmonic density. It’s an album that is at once experimentally focused yet accessibly melodic; forceful yet sensitive; explosive, and at the same time somehow reserved and mysterious. Ceiling saw Loomer working with Brisbane’s own Cameron Smith recording and engineering the release (No Anchor, John Steel Singers), with mixing from Blank Realm’s Luke Walsh, and mastering from Melbourne’s Greg Wadley. The release is one of the first for fledgling boutique Brisbane imprint, Bon Voyage. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
